Moodle in English: Academi theme borked in Moodle 3.5

Academi theme borked in Moodle 3.5

by Andrew Steele - Friday, May 18, 2018, 4:07 AM

We've been using the Academi theme inMoodle 3.3 with great success.

Today I took the plunge and upgraded to Moodle 3.5. A few minor niggles but generally OK except that the top elements of the screen no longer appear as expected.

The hamburger menu buttons seem to have moved about . The logo graphic has shrunk and the login text is now white on a white background.

Has anyone any experience of the Academi theme on Moodle 3.5 to suggest whether it is generally working OK or have we just managed to get a corrupted theme.

If nobody else has the problem then any advice on achieving a clean install of Academi?

It does seem to have a similar problem on a separate development Moodle I run to test stuff.

I have version 3.5 of theme dated 2018051200

If both your initial install / updates of Moodle 3.5 / & Academi 3.5 went smoothly then there is obviously no real problems in either Moodle or Academi.

How did you add the latest Academi. Was it manually or via SiteAdministration > Plugins > Install plugins?

It may be an idea to report these changes to the Git Tracker for the Academi theme?

Hi Mary,

We almost always perform manual updates/installs. This was no different.

I think I'm going to attempt a full clean out of the theme and then restore it as a new plugin and see what happens.

I'll report back.

Hi Andrew,

Child themes of Boost need to be checked and updated before use in Moodle 3.5. In Moodle 3.5 Boost has been upgraded to use the Bootstrap 4 Stable from the http://getbootstrap.com.

A lot has changed in Bootstrap 4, some of the important changes for developers have been listed here:

The change to header.mustache template is probably causing the issues with the navbar layout.

Hi Bas,

Many thanks. Your explanation does seem to point to the reasons behind the issues we are seeing.

I was about to report back that even after clearing out the theme and resinstalling the issues remain.

The finer points of theme construction are more than I need to occupy brain cells with. I'll pass it back to the developer in case he/she has insight and in the meantime I've found a different theme that might do the job albeit without quite as much sophistication.
